A Timeless classic comes alive in this enchanting movie based on the worldwide best-selling novel
by Richard Adams. A delightful film for audiences of most ages.
Nestled among the rolling hills and peaceful meadows of England lives a community of
rabbits. When their warren is threatened, a small group of brave rabbits escapes into the unknown
countryside in search of a new home. Led by the visionary Fiver, the courageous BigWig, the clever
Blackberry, and the honourable Hazel, they face daunting challenges, and use their strength and cunning
to survive, while pursuing their dream.
Director Martin Rose frames the tale largely from the viewpoint of the rabbits, so that we identify with
each one. Packed with excitement and adventure, Watership Down is an engaging, thrilling tale that
celebrates traditional values of loyalty, courage and spirit. Deeply moving in a way that no other animated
film has ever achieved.
